Bottoms up! These are 20 of the weirdest drinks in the world

By: daniela - 27 November 2017, 18:15

Compartir en Facebook

We all love trying new things and have a weird attraction to sometimes try weird things that may not even sound tempting… all for the sake of a new experience. Different places and different customs and traditions bring drinks you may think are crazy, but that are just average for other people (hey! They must think our drinks are insane as well). And as it usually happens with new things, the weirder it is we want to try it more just to see what it’s like.

We made our research and we don’t know why but for some reason, these weird drinks were invented and apparently, they are popular with some people. We’ll tell you all about them here.

Beer and milk

Google.

This japanese drink was born whenthe producer heard about a milk surplus. A proposition was made to the local brewery to produce a beer with milk. As a third of the beer was milk, it was understood as an excellent way to help local farmers. We're not sure if they have a target audience because it sounds gross but we're glad for the farmers.

Panda Dung Tea

Google.

An Yanshi, professor of calligraphy at Sichuan University, has patented a way to grow green tea in panda excrement. As bizarre as it sounds, sales are through the roof and it's become super popular - and expensive!

Tobacco liquid

Google.

This was an energy drink that promised to give users a similar experience to smoking. Martin Hartman, CEO of the company, stated that the product did not contain nicotine, but did produce "an energizing effect, followed by a feeling of euphoria and relaxation." This product brought lots of legal problems for him.

Diet water

Google.

More than a weird drink, it's a marketig ploy... I can’t believe h0ow anyone could ever invent something like this, and even more shocking, how can anyone buy these.. It doesn’t make any sense. "Regular" water already has no calories, fat, carbs or protein.

Rainbow beer

Google.

Ryuhyo ("ice drift") is one of the most interesting projects that we can find in Rainbow Beer, made with water from melted icebergs that float on the beaches of northern Hokkaido. Its bright blue color comes from seaweed extract.

Ice cucumber Pepsi

Google.

Of course, this was launched in Japan. Some people said that it had a real artificial flavor that was bad. However, I like cucumber. The thing is that the mix with Pepsi doesn’t sound like the right combination... but that may just be me.

BustUp

Google.

This beberage was sold in Japan as a “natural” way of growing bresats. Well, it doesn’t look natural at all people. You should never drink something that says that is going to change your body. You should just exercise and accept yourself as you are. Besides, we have no idea what's on this!

Pizza beer

Google.

Separately both things are perfect. How could someone mix both? Pizza Beer claims to be the World's first "culinary beer", and the ale brewed with oregano, basil, tomato and garlic is sold on select locations within the US. I will admit, this combo makes me curious but I think I'd rather have them separately.

Deer penis wine

Google.

Not even its name sounds good. Chinese athletes have long used animal parts to improve their performance. The last thing in their sports medicine seemed to be venison penis wine. There is a variant called the triple wine of the penis, which is made with the sexual organs of dogs and seals, as well as deer. Right.

Kids beer

Google.

Some people think that this is a way of encouraging little children to drink alcohol. However, I feel like it is a way of telling them that alcohol is nothing different as the things they actually know. In that way they would not be that curious when they grow up and nothing would get out of control. Just a disclaimer, of course this has zero alcohol.

Garlic drink

Google.

This is a south Korean drink. Most asian cultures heavily use garlic and they don’t have any problems with garlic smell. We, usually tend to look for things that take the garlic smell away from us. After cutting it when we cook etc.

Curry lemonade

Google.

Of course, we, occidental people are always one step behind oriental people. That is why we only use curry as a seasoning when we cook. Well, Japanese people mixed it with lemonade and drink it. This is also very popular in other asian countries, like India.

Cow water

Google.

Four years ago, a Hindu cultural group developed jal gau ("cow water") as a "healthy" alternative to soft drinks. Although Gau Jal still has to appear in supermarkets in the United States, it has already found a niche market in Italy, where it is sold under the elegant name of "Acqua di Vacca".

Kimchi Soda

Google.

Ramune produces his bubbly drinks of wasabi, kimchi, curry or teriyaki flavors. We don’t know if we must trust in these. The word "Ramunė" is a Japanese adaptation of "lemonade". Couldn’t they have just used lemons?

Cheese liquid

Google.

Produced by the NEEDS cheese factory in Hokkaido, the NEEDS liquid cheese beverage was presented with three flavors: Berry, Yuzu Citrus and normal. This sounds amazingly disgusting. However, at this point nothing surprises me…

Baby mouse wine

Google.

Why why why why WHY would you drink baby mice?. Just take a look at the picture. It can’t even exist. I know that mice are mostly a lovable little rodent but this is just too much for my own eyes. It doesn’t only sound wrongs it also looks really bad.

Peruvian frog juice

Google.

Two incisions are made in the belly of the frog. The frog is liquefied in the blender with the hot broth of beans, honey, aloe vera, and maca. Unfortunately, this become famous and a lot of people are drinking it. For the locals, it's a deliceatessen. To each their own I suppose.

Placenta 10000 and Placenta-Pro

Google.

It is taken "to increase the energy and production of breast milk of a first-time mother, while decreasing postpartum depression and bleeding". And if the porcine placenta does not sound strong enough for you, there is always Placenta-pro, made from horse placenta extract.

Thanksgiving drink

Google.

In 2003, beverage manufacturers Jones Soda launched a flavored Turkey and salsa flavored drink for the holiday season. Very extravagant. It ran out in two hours, in case you were wondering why would they do that.

Bird's nest drink

Google.

Pollution is eroding the cliffs where swifts live. But it does not matter, in China there is a fever from drinking a bird's nest. Who wouldn’t want to get a smoother skin?

The creative use of these tattoos you didn’t know about

By: Mundo.com - 22 May 2017, 09:47

Usually we get tattooed because we want to remember somebody or something that happened to us, or because we love art, but these tattoos have a more important purpose.

These useful and well thought tattoos ideas will make you want to get one and take pictures of it; so check them out!

Camera in sight

Pinterest

Well first, some curious facts about tattoos that you need to know. 36% of people between 18 and 29 have at least one tattoo (it is estimated that 1 out of 8 people in the world has at least one tattoo, but the number is always increasing).

A door to the heart

Pinterest

In 1991 they discovered a mummy of over 5000 years and the scientists found a total of 57 different tattoos in its well preserved body. It was our friend Ötzi, surely some of you have heard of him.

courage

Pinterest

The tattoo machine is based on the design of the modern doorbells. The first design of the modern tattoo machine is awarded to the famous inventor Thomas Edison. Who would have ever thought that he was going to be the creator of such a wonderful invention?

The asterisk was the best idea

Pinterest

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century tattoos were fashionable among the European aristocracy. Tattoos were very expensive and people paid a large amount of money for their designs. Women could also get tattooed, which was previously impossible to think of it at that time. Today the cost of tattoos has been reduced and became a symbol of all social classes.

Thanks for being so specific

Pinterest

The most tattooed man in the world is Lucky Diamond Rich, who has 100% of his body tattooed.The first time he got tattooed an eye was in 2008. He was tattooed completely in blue.

This gets me uncomfortable

Pinterest

Fortunately, nowadauys tattoos are becoming more accepted by the society and so it's not difficult to find people with true masterpieces on their skins.

With a lot of relevance

Pinterest

Tattoos were an important part of the identity of the men of the sea and it was them who, at the beginning of modernity, introduced this art to the West. For sailors, tattoos had an important and relevant meaning; they use tattoos to show their adventures, tell stories of their journeys or to celebrate self-achievements.

Smoking kills

Pinterest

As we mentioned in the previous image, a good time passed since the tattoos were a thing of rough sailors.Did you know that Barbie, the most popular doll in history, also has tattoos?It was in 1999, when US toy company Mattel released a version of Barbie with a butterfly tattoo on her stomach, although it was withdrawn from the market because of parents' complaints.

Cut here

Pinterest

This tattoo is a clear example that smoking can kill you, and how hard it's to quit it, but also very ingenious, but let's go back to the curious data.There are tattoos that, at first glance, are impossible to see, because they glow with ultraviolet light, and so are invisible in the daylight.

He never leaves the house without socks

Pinterest

The bones of Ötzi, a man who lived in the year 3300 before the Common Era, had many tattoos on his joints, back, legs and arms. The remains of Ötzi were found in 1991, on the Alps, in the border zone between Italy and Austria. Archaeologists believe that tattoos were made for religious purposes.

Pinterest

Another interesting fact about tattoos is that women regret their tattoos more than men do. Many people get tired of having the same tattoo for so long and decide to remove it or cover it with a new one.

Pinterest

To eliminate tattoos, there are various medical procedures (laser, crevice, excision, dermabrasion) and cosmetics (creams and bases) that can sometimes be even more painful or scarring.Despite this, according to statistics, women submit twice as much as men to treatments to get rid of one or more tattoos.
